If everybody was perfect
They would never make
Not one mistake

But nobody is perfect
Nobody can expect
Them to ever be

Nobody is perfect
Why can't people
Just deal with that

Nobody will ever be perfect
Until the day God
Makes us that way

So until that time comes
Which is far away
Just know this
That nobody will ever be perfect
Until that day

Julie? May I? Seems you inspired me a bit:

There is no one that's perfect-pressed,
for we are one and the same.
The fault we find with others is
the voice of our own shame.

Hearthugs, lady.

We are the all better for your words.

Thank you all for your comments. Sometimes I just get mad when some of the members here expect you to write poems at their level. But like I say nobody is perfect at anything. Especially poetry.

And those people are at a low level simply because they keep labelling everyone by some level when poetry is about expression not competition.

What is life without poetry and adventure?

Julie, if we didn't make mistakes, we would never learn. Your poetry is lovely - from your heart - that's all that counts. Keep smilin', hugs, Chris

I expressed a deep desire
to ever perfect be
but the voice of God came back
it came up close to me

How can your perfection reign
when others are put down
you must learn humility
if you would wear a crown

And so I found a lesson learned
perfection's trail is blazed
when in the mirror of our love
all other folks are raised.

Loved your poem, hope you don't mind the inspire it gave me.

(sigh) So very true, dearest friend, I myself am not perfect and admit I have made mistakes, and you do too, but nevertheless you can be as close to perfect as you can and that is a blessing! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Julie, I wrote a poem called "She Wondered If She Belonged Amongst The Giants". Of course, the "she" in it is "me". I wrote it when I was thinking that people may be getting tired of reading about me and Gary all the time. But, do you know what? I seem to be able to write the love poems about us better because I feel them in my heart...and it's the happiest part of my life.

I have found that as long as you write from your heart, there will be people who like to read your poems. We can only write the way we write...not the way others write. Besides, it wouldn't be very interesting if everyone wrote exactly alike, would it?

I think I'll repost that poem just for you. Maybe you can relate to it. Remember that the "she" in the poem is actually "me".

(I just noticed that another one of mine is on the front now, so I'll probably post it tomorrow.)

Heart hugs to you, Julie

Thank you very much! I chased this perfection demon for years...illusive demon, it is.

Conclusion: Do the best you can, that's all you can do.

Now I am satisfied in the fact that I will never achieve perfection. We all fall short of the glory because of our humaness.

Good Write, Good Thoughts,
Patricia
